Basic ice cream is 1/2pt double (heavy) cream, 1/2 pt milk, 6oz of sugar, beat together, put in a machine and set it off. Quote: does it have gelatine, Supermarket/mass produced ones often have gelatine, guar gum, xanthim gum, caragine and nuclear & toxic waste (ok, the last one I'm making up, but near enough). Real ice cream uses cream and eggs as thickening agent. Quote: what's the best machine (not most expensive, you understand) for the job? Till recently we had a philips ice cream maker. This is the simplest sort, you leave a special bowl filled with gell in the freezer, and use that. Such as: We've now got one with a built in freezer that makes it a lot quicker and smoother. The one we chose was a Gaggia one. Quote: What ingredients does it need besides eggs? A lot depends on the type you want. I'll sort you out some recipes.

Worked really quite well. Quote: Would quite like one of the ones that you don't need to prefreeze but then you are talking £250-300! We bought one from our ill gotten gains from flogging stuff on ebay. Best-of-italy.com had them on special offer this last week or so, so it was £220 delivered. Still on offer...

The home made we had last night was a lot tastier than Mr Whippy, but a similar consistency. The cat tried to pinch mine!

Basic mix 1. 1/2pt double/heavy cream 1/2pt milk 6 oz sugar Basic mix 2. 1/2pt double/heavy cream 1/2pt milk 6 oz sugar 4 egg yolks Beat the egg yolks and sugar together till they are pale yellow (recipe books say white, but that's with supermarket eggs, not real ones). Heat the milk till it's hot-bath temperature, add the double cream, and beat into the yolk mixture. Custard made.
